Hey guys ,

I have just recently finished my AS Levels and I am wondering about any Projects that would be beneficial for my application to Imperial. Furthermore, I currently have experience in the languages: C#, Java and PHP ( If this helps at all )

Thank you in advance

Neil

Try contributing to some open source projects like jMonkeyEngine (jmonkeyengine.org). Or see what the Google Summer of Code has to offer (http://code.google.com/soc/ - although applications are now closed).

Thanks for the information, I like the idea of contributed to Open Source code but I just don't want to mess up the code for anyone or create any Exploits. The Summer of Code is interesting; I may apply to that next year

Thanks again

The best way to learn is by coding with others. Don't worry about messing up other people's code - any decent project will be using a CVS and your code will usually be reviewed before it's merged into the master branch. Accept tickets that match your skillset or spend some time learning new skills if they don't

Thanks for the information again I might search if I can find any tickets with the problems I can solve and I never knew that they review the changes before they merge it with the master branch

P.S I would like to +1 you again, but I can't right now; so i'll have to do it later
